Rating scale

Here's the rating scale I use, and how it corresponds to BGG ratings:

- Enthusiastic: I love the game and want to play it. (9, 10)
- Suggest: Good game, I want to play it and will usually suggest it. (7, 8)
- Indifferent: I'll play the game, if necessary, but won't suggest it. (5, 6)
- Avoid: I don't want to play this game. (1-4)

Of green

The green colour of the sidebar is the Brunswick Green used by Nationalised British Railways - Western Region:

"A different color, also called "Brunswick green", was the colour for passenger locomotives of the Grouping and then the nationalized British Railways. There were three shades of these colours and they are defined under British Standard BS381C - 225, BS381C - 226, and BS381C - 227 (ordered from lightest to darkest). The Brunswick Green used by the Nationalised British Railways - Western Region for passenger Locomotives was BS381C - 227 (rgb(30:62:46)). RAL6005 is a close substitute to BS381C - 227. A characteristic of these colours was the ease for various railway locations to mix them by using whole pots of primary colours - hence the ability to get reasonably consistent colours with manual mixing half a century and more ago."

Dominion and a book

You can assume 4/3 starting hand. This is one of the setups for the Finnish Dominion Championships. I’m playing, but haven’t practised a bit, just a couple of games at BSW. I don’t like playing Dominion on BSW, so there’s a bit of a problem. Well, I’m naturally good, so I don’t need to practise.

Pictured right is the cover of my third book. The cover says “150 card games”, which is pretty much what the book contains. Basic games, some fairly important games missing from other Finnish books, some new stuff never before published in Finnish (lifted from Pagat and David Parlett’s books) and some games by David Parlett.

All in all, pretty neat package. It’s going to be quite a brick, over 500 pages. Writing a 500 page book was easier than I thought, but then again I did recycle quite a bit of material from my previous book.

Also, yesterday in addition of playing Atlantic Triangle, I also watched the guys playing Campaign Manager. I wasn’t keen on 1960, but this seems better — less tug-of-war.
